I feed my hatchlings through yearlings once every 3 days. The size of snake vs. the prey item determines the size/amount of food given. If the snake is in between food sizes, ie. pink vs. peach, I feed 2 pinks until the snake can move up to peaches.

I fed my infants 1 pink mouse every 5 days until they were about 7 months old. By then they were big enough to feed 2. By the time they finished their 1st year, they were on pink neonate pink rats.

lol, of my neo that I kept, born 7/1/03, 2 are happily sucking down adult mice and 2 are still eating juvies. I think the last to move to fuzzies did so on it's 6th meal, the first on it's 4th. all were eating juvie mice at 4 months.
